...doctrinaire Soviet. But last week Christina Onassis, 28, and Husband Sergei Kauzov, 40, celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a few close Greek friends on Christina's island, Skorpios. The party was deliberately simple: an anniversary cake helicoptered in from the mainland, along with champagne, caviar, smoked salmon and lobster. Then the couple led off some barefoot dancing, choosing a tango as their starter. There were no signs of discord in the union. Sergei, who has been allowed out of Moscow on an extended visa rarely granted by Soviet authorities, is taking a stronger role in managing...
...Luther Hodges, successful bank chairman, lost a Senate primary in North Carolina to a man who outspent him 20 to 1; Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, California Congresswoman, lost a race for state attorney general; Andrew Pickens Miller, Virginia's attorney general, lost a race for Senator. Vermont Governor Thomas Salmon, who ably fought the land developers in his small state ("Vermont is not for sale"), lost a Senate race to Republican Robert Stafford and is now a lawyer in Bellows Falls (pop. 5,263) and a lobbyist in the state legislature. Wendell Anderson made the mistake of resigning his Minnesota...
...events, spectators will be able to choose from smoked salmon, caviar and sliced sausages. Drinks include hot tea, vodka, or Coca-Cola and its orange-flavored cousin, Fanta, dispensed by strolling vendors through a tube from a backpack tank. (Pepsi-Cola has been available in the U.S.S.R. for six years, but Coke won the Olympic bidding.) Not to be outdone in the soda race, the Soviets have invented their own Olympic drink, Druzhba, a cranberry-apple concoction...
...sources of petroleum, as well as by lumber and mining interests. The most sweeping land conservation legislation in U.S. history, the bill would preserve an area slightly larger than California. It would also protect the great caribou herds in the Arctic Wildlife Range, the spawning beds of the Pacific salmon in the Misty Fjords along the state's southeast coast, the nesting grounds of the dwindling numbers of American bald eagles on Admiralty Island and the habitat of the whistling swan in the southwest...
Other environmental effects may be more subtle. One involves the numerous arctic streams that pass under both roads via culverts. These can speed up or slow down the water and disturb the salmon battling upstream each spring to spawn. Indeed, biologists say that there has already been a drop-off in the number of fish in streams intersecting the Haul Road. Gravel and dust can be another problem. Tossed onto the permafrost by car wheels, they cause the snow to melt early in the spring. Waterfowl then nest prematurely in these moist spots and lose their young to frost...
